New grounds can be a double edged sword because it can hamper short term funding for the squad to pay for the building then when you move in you don't have good enough players to play in it.

Yep. MR has in the past had a tendency to start a season with his striker and two wide attackers which has then later been forced into being changed due to injury which led to an upturn in form. This year we seem to be sticking to what work last year but injuries are making that difficult at the...

Our history of ACL's and a heavy pitch - not a good combo. Trouble is high winds are exactly going to be conducive to lumping it either. Think we may not learn a lot tonight. Would say it's more match fitness but we really do need to be using games at this stage to work on the technical side as...

I dunno. Seems quite apt. Always looks busy but is a bit shit.

I think it was just to make it more accessible for people to be able to identify players. I am glad that Root chose 66. I like they have their number of their cap in test cricket based on how many people have played for the country before. Would love that to be adopted somehow in football so...

Hyam I gave 3 because if I was giving out numbers based on likely first team appearances and if we play 3CB's I needed an extra number for all of them. I was going to put them at 4,5 and 6 with 7 and 8 Kelly and Hamer 9 Godden and 10/11 O'Hare and Allen/Shipley. But I decided to move Giles from...

You'd think they'd want the squad numbers out for the kit release so if people want them printed up they can be before shipping. Last few years lots of players have kept the same number for following years regardless, with one of two changing for one in the first 11. Giving everyone under...

Is there any research on how cold/flu with coronavirus affects people? Or those that have had and recovered from coronavirus?

This ones quite long.

He's been allowed to get away either a fair bit already by complicit Rep's. If he loses he won't accept it, will call it a sham and rigged. I reckon he'll effectively put out a 'call to arms' to his base and we'll see people with guns actively out on the street trying to 'reclaim' their...

Yep. In the current era I'm not putting money on anything. His behaviour in office should see Trump already behind by a landslide. Fact he's only a bit behind tells you that a lot of people either are so entrenched in the Rep/Dem bTTLE they won't vote otherwise, they can't accept it's a massive...

I'm far more surprised Obama wasn't. Idiots with guns on the whole are Republican/Trump supporters.

Idiots with money never see past them though. The Galactico's era at Madrid was ridiculous. Didn't work as a team at all but every season without fail go out and buy whoever was considered the best attacker available.

Trouble is we're playing them away on a Wednesday ;) But it is in April so it may well be wet.

I think it isn't particularly relevant today and seems to be there to hark to the days of Empire etc. along with things like Rule Britannia, Jerusalem and the other Pomp and Circumstance stuff. Wouldn't want to see it banned or airbrushed out of history as it says a lot about the era and the...

I'm right on the cusp of X and Y. I feel I've got more in common with the X than Millennials though. Never quite sure about them though because the difference between the beginning and end can be stark. Millennials for example are born through the Tory govt of the 80's and those born early on...

Warwickshire. West Mids I think for most is seen as Birmingham. Been plenty of noise from people wanting the region renamed Greater Birmingham because they have this one-upmanship with Manchester over who's bigger. West Mids from Wolverhampton to Birmingham is pretty much one large urban area...

With the Midlands if they're going to set it here it's going to be Birmingham, like Peaky Blinders. Up north it's almost certainly going to be Manchester, Liverpool or maybe Newcastle. The Nativity movies were done in Coventry because the author was local but again I don't know if they were...

When Arsenal signed him I'd only really seen him play for Germany and felt he was a good player, but the reports on him were that he had tons of ability but the heart of a mouse. When the going got tough he would hide and at times you may as well play with ten men. From what I've seen of him...

I remember once when we had our half time drink and there was no orange squash, just apple or blackcurrant. What a kerfuffle.
